Step 1. Disconnect power from the spa.

Step 2. Unthread the broken lens with a small flathead screwdriver.

Step 3. Use needle nose pliers or wire cutters to grab the bulb and remove it from the housing. If the bulb is melted or will not loosen, you must replace the harness.

Step 4. To access the light harness you must remove the panel. Loosen the two screws on the panel clips, slide the clip to the left, and pull the clip down.



Step 5. Lift the door up and over the clips to remove the door.

Step 6. Dig out the foam until you reach the light harness.


Step 7. The harness nut is glued to the shell. Discard the nut that comes with the new harness.

Step 8. Cut the harness cord and unthread the damaged harness from the nut.


Step 9. Install the new harness by threading it clockwise into the nut and tighten it with a screwdriver.


Step 10. Dig into the foam until you locate the harness connector.

Step 11. Unplug the old harness connector and plug in the new harness connector. Make sure the arrows on the connectors line up.


Step 12. Wrap the connector up with tape and place it back inside the spa.


Step 13. Install the panel and tighten the panel clips.
